  • uhh seen this shit with some rewrites with no regards to your code being idiomatic to the point of it all feeling almost verbatim. Like some PHP devs getting confused by the lack of classes in Go and instead of using method receivers and composition over inheritance creating one 250-line behemoth public function to replace a PHP class.

  • oh yeah and the overt emphasis by suits on frontend development because it feels more tangible. like yeah sure we can add a follow button in a couple lines of code... granted you want to allow duplicate requests by non-signed in users or users that block each other with no manual approvals support, no protection against CSRF and the followee not getting notified

  • especially if the other person uses some stupid bloat like MIUI. I assume under the hood it must be a real hot mess if in the process of adding new features they broke support for standard stuff if last time I needed to do something on two people's xiaomis these shitboxes didn't show a password below the wifi qr code and it has this thing with accent colors derived from wallpaper but absolutely no control over it unlike in standard android despite the fact that it landed two major releases ago.

  • I'd say invidious/piped but sadly if an instance link would be visited by a lot of people in short time, these bastards would rate limit the instance for many days. I belive we need some sort of load balancing gateway that periodically does healthchecks on those instances and redirects the visitors accordingly.

  • idk as an ADHDer I might not have a hard time learning keyboard shortcuts (i uSe VIm bTw, fr in many cases for text docs I'd rather write them using markdown and maybe add some html styling then convert with pandoc than deal with the sensory overload that RTEs can give me) I need more time to navigate solely text-based menus with lots of items than a ribbon.

  • 20 years ago 32-bit systems, CRT monitors, dial-up modems, single core processors or HDDs with most people having 160 GB of storage at most were common. And laptop battery life and thermal performance was just ridiculous in most cases.

    Moore's law is mostly dead for commercial crap, i.e. JS-heavy 3rd party spyware filled websites with comparably slow and costly backends and Electron/React Native bloat on desktop/mobile, because shorter time to market and thus paying the devs less is often much cheaper for a lot of companies.

    I'd argue free software luckily proves this theorem wrong. There are still a lot of actively maintained, popular programs in C and C++ and a lot of newer ones written in Rust, Dart or Go.

  • yeah though if there are many forks, can't do without using some scripting. Hence I believe you should hard fork if you feel really serious about carrying on a project and/or at least link it in an issue on the original repo

  • syntax is pretty neat but if OP wants something with similar syntax that performs better instead of type checking unit tests alone taking more time to complete than compiling a C++ AAA game, then Elixir might be a better choice. Also it's functional approach could really provide a fun challenge. I mean, you can even see that by comparing the performance and resource consumption of akkoma/pleroma vs mastodon. Above 10k users or so you have to either scale your instance horizontally or shut it down.
